Born in 1934, Beijing, China; migrated to Taiwan in 1948. Chuang Che is the key member of the famous Fifth Moon Group in Taiwan, and moved to the United States in 1973. The major feature of Chuang's work is that he traces back to the Chinese ink technique from the National Palace Museum collections, and apply to western modern paintings, he intentionally infiltrates the "brush strokes" from Chinese paintings into western paintings, so the eastern and western integrates, becomes his unique style. From an artistic point of view, eastern painting and calligraphy embraced resolute and mild, sparse and concentrated, ying and yang, dense and pale, wither and moist. Chuang is an artist who emphasizes the "brush strength ",through the Chinese book and script style of writing, represents the landscape of the nature; as an effort to return to the primitives of the calligraphy.
In this painting "Fresh Green" the pure green shade of base color shows the delicate eastern beauty, like diffused ink sprinkled uninhibited onto the canvas, reproduces the variation of the trees and mountains under the light and shadows, it's ingenious, willful, forthright, and full of imagination.
